Encounter

#FlashTag @monologging #scifi Specialists were working tirelessly to decode a cryptic message beamed to earth.

#FlashTag @itsjaykyall Indecipherable enigma, the experts were baffled. Days passed. Radar detected a looming shadow.

#FlashTag @JeffreyFBarken A blackout ensued. Governments succumbed to chaos. The army searched the sky, desperate to make contact.

#FlashTag @diranasaurus After weeks of searching, the quiet sky finally spoke to the chaotic earth. “Hello. We’re here.”

#FlashTag @KatieBrunner The voice was quiet, calm. And entirely too familiar.

#FlashTag @monologging There was nostalgia in the stars. Some prayed, others rioted. Fires raged. Few lucky souls dared leave.
